'Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer' An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer'


Oil on Archival Linen Panel
9 x 12

I have not published many new paintings recently 

because I have been working furiously to create

work for my French Show at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center

this May with fellow artist Donna Barlup.  

This is a new painting I created as a result of an online class 

I have been taking through the Tuscon Art Academy 

with Gabor Zvagrik.  It's been an excellent class with an 

exceptional teacher, and I LOVE that they give 

online critiques of my work.

WAGON WHEEL BENCH Beech Springs Farm An Original Plein Air Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Wagon Wheel Bench'
Beech Springs Farm

Oil on Linen Panel

9 x 12

Some days just don't turn out the way you think

they will...  

I was on my way  to deliver a painting yesterday morning

when I ran my car into a car that had stopped suddenly

in front.of me.  No one was hurt (the most important

thing), but my car got the worst of it.  After I had made

sure that everyone was ok, I suddenly realized that I had

all my plein air gear in the back.  Because many items

in the car slid forward on impact, I was very happy

to find that everything was safe and sound - especially 

this plein air painting from Beech Springs Farm.

SHADE UNDER THE LILACS An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Shade Under the Lilacs'

Oil

8  x  8

 I was at the Stoneybrook Iris Farm painting when I spotted
these chickens resting in the shade of the
lilac bushes.  I think the rooster was aware that I
was taking some photographs of them, because he
suddenly became very alert...never mess with a rooster!

HALLOWED GROUND Gettysburg Battlefield by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Hallowed Ground'

Oil  20 x 16

The past few years, I've been very fortunate to participate in the plein air

event that takes place on the grounds of the Gettysburg Battlefield

as part of the Gettysburg Festival.  This studio piece is part of an even

larger painting that I would like to create from memories, sketches

 and photographs I took while I was on the battlefield last Summer.

This is a view from Ayers Avenue, near the Wheat Field.  The day
was extremely hot, with a haziness that made things in the
distance appear very blue-grey.It's hard to even comprehend
the death and destruction that took place during the three days
of the Battle of Gettysburg. I just know that everytime I am anywhere

 on that battlefield, I swear you can feel the presence
of the people who fought and perished there.

KINGS GAP WATER TOWER by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Kings Gap Water Tower'
Oil   9 x 12

This unique round water tower can be found beside the
gardens at Kings Gap State Park here in Pennsylvania.
It took a beating because of ice accumulation this past
winter, but work is being done to repair the damage.
It would be such a shame to lose this beautiful
structure!
